Michigan Families Deserve Better
UNERSTANDING MICHIGAN FAMILY COURT
The Three Core Problems
1. Parenting Time Is Not Predictable
Michigan has no standard schedule. Judges decide case‑by‑case, leading to massive inconsistency.
2. Income Affects Custody Outcomes
Higher‑income parents get more time, more access, and more legal leverage. Lower‑income parents get less time and more punishment.
3. The Financial Burden Is Crushing
Families spend tens of thousands trying to keep parenting time. Many lose homes, jobs, savings — even their mental health.
